Neena Gupta shares getting thrown out with baby Masaba in her arms in the middle of the night
Recently, in a candid conversation with Housing.com, Neena Gupta recalled being homeless with her daughter, Masaba after being kicked out of her aunt’s house in the middle of the night. It was during the early 1980s when Neena had just sold her apartment to fund a new 3-BHK flat in Mumbai but was left without a place to stay during the transition. Believing in her family, she temporarily moved in with her aunt and uncle. However, what seemed like a safe haven turned into a nightmare when her aunt unexpectedly asked her to leave. The Badhaai Ho actress recalled:
“I shifted to my aunt’s house where I had stayed before. I thought, ‘I stay there so much of the time and I just come back to my house to sleep’. Since Masaba was little then, my aunt used to help in looking after the baby… But one day, she threw me out in the middle of the night, she kicked me out. I had no money left. There was this one night where I had nowhere to go with a baby.”
